I agree, it does. I was simply pointing out that, in terms of general probability, teams that post stats like ours week in, week out seem more likely to be doing poorly than doing well. Bruce is beating those odds for now, and all credit to him for that. I'm certainly happy with the points, but I would love to see us playing more fluid stuff - I'm sure we all would.
-
Yep, great run indeed, but Norwich 69% possession and 10 corners to our 2. We won’t go on winning games if we keep that up.
-
Think I've slipped into a time warp.... Can anyone confirm we've won two in a row?
-
Many thanks for that terrific write up (as usual, I might add). Makes it a little easier to bear the result.
-
Trouble is, the Dr. obviously thinks it is possible. He backed RDM heavily then lost patience with him. Now he has backed SB heavily... how long before he pulls the trigger again?
-
Ashley Barnes swap deal?
-
Haven't seen much of them but would agree on what I saw of the stream today. Thought Boro's Callum Cooke was easily the most dangerous player on the park, wouldn't mind getting him instead of Jordan Rhodes, but I suspect Boro might have noticed he's a bit good.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
BigJim replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
If he's ever going to become the magical player we all dream of, one thing he needs to do for sure is improve his left foot. -
i will give Bruce the benefit of the doubt and say he is responsible for some improvement over the 4 games. However, it's a small sample and I believe even so we were lucky to get points in the Wolves and SHA games (especially the former), and we could easily be looking at a rather poor initial points haul. I think any luck in RDMs results would have evened itself out, he had long enough for that. Onwards and upwards... I hope we'll all be able to agree Bruce has done an excellent job after the next half dozen games.
-
Fair play for playing down the drama, but I also saw it as a very one-sided affair. The 3 shots on target stat can't hide how they dominated the second half and how much more likely they looked to score.
-
Any strength in our squad is due to us having a few good ball players. We don't have the personnel to make a team of scrappers. The only way we will get out of this division is by playing football. I'll reserve judgment on whether Bruce is able to get us doing that, but my hopes are not high from what I've seen so far.
-
4 points out of every 6 still available sounds an awful lot to aim for, but it would put us on 81 by my reckoning so probably comfortably in the playoffs.
-
The Wolves players were not more skilful than ours, but physically stronger, and extremely well organized and motivated. They impressed me. We were lucky to get a point against the Geordies, but today we led a charmed life. Bruce surely wondering what he's let himself in for.
-
Absolutely right. I wasn't really expecting us to get back up straight away, but I think your points here and Daweii's above make it even more vital that we do just that.
-
Does seem a bit weird, but then again we should remember they put 3 past us without this guy even on the bench. They can probably be forgiven for thinking they need the money more than the player.
-
All seems to be going round in circles to me. I just wish I could forget how certain I was that we were going to sign a top striker (or at least Adebayor) this time last year.
-
I don't think we can afford bomb squads. If he moves on, perhaps that's best for all concerned, but if there are no takers I would hope the management team do everything in their power to get him up, motivated and firing again.
-
Was expecting more business to be done in Italy. Must be plenty of likely candidates there?
-
Can't imagine there will be (m)any takers at this late stage and considering the wages he must be on. It would be a pity if there has been a falling out and we nether see any more of him nor see the benefits of a transfer fee.
-
very funny
-
I did like his corners, but surely somebody else must be capable of hitting them in a similar way. I would prefer him just outside the box on corners, to feed on half clearances. We just don't have enough players to shoot accurately from that sort of position. Gardner can do it but he was so poor generally today that I doubt we'll be seeing too much of him.
-
Leave MON out of it. Oh, you did.
-
Just have to leave him free to range all over the park.
-
Sure, but they accepted Norwich's bid as well didn't they? Has the lad himself actually put pen to paper yet? ITSOTP?
-
This doesn't seem to be reported anywhere else but the Mail? Everybody else just saying bid accepted. Not on the os of course, although they report Clark gone. Hope we're not jumping the gun.
